2nd Summer Meeting Basildon July 2019 – Results

Our 2nd Summer Meeting took place at Basildon Golf Club in mid July. After rain and difficult conditions at the 2 previous meetings this year the ladies were treated to a warm and sunny day for their afternoon round. The course was in good condition and the greens were superb. Some of the ladies found the tree lined fairways a little troublesome, but others excelled and returned great scores. A total of 70 ladies from 29 different clubs across Essex played in the 4BBB competition off full handicap.  Many of the prizes were decided on count back. 13 pairs scored 40 or more points and 3 pairs scored 43 points. As Dot Greaves, President of the Society was unable to attend, Vice President Jo Davies and Carol Bell Secretary presented the prizes. In 3rd place with 44 points ocb were Helen Williams (Burnham) & Viggi Thompson (Forrester Park). In 2nd place also on 44 points were Pam Stevens (Gosfield Lake) & Mary Ellen Lewis (Burnham). The overall winners of the competition and the Joyce Layland Trophy were Sue Brittan (Chelmsford) and Gill Stallard (Brentwood). Thank you to Basildon for hosting the event and all the staff on the day.

Friendly Match with Cambs & Hunts Lady Captains

Our penultimate friendly match of the 2019 season was held at Gog-ma-Gog Golf Club on 9^th July 2019 hosted by the Cambs & Hunts Lady Captains.  Gog-ma-Gog has 2 outstanding 18-holes courses, The Old Course and The Wendlebury.  We played The Old Course, which is an undulating course with fantastic views of the surrounding countryside.  There are no water hazards on the course but there are an abundance of bunkers and very tricky greens.    

We played a joint team event with the best betterball score to count for each pair with the score added together on each hole.  Winners on the day were Nikki McKemmie Watson (Crondon Park) & Anne Hemmings (Stoke by Nayland) alongside their Cambs & Hunts partners.  In second place were Lynda Dunbar (The Essex) & Paula Higgins (Benton Hall) plus partners.

The meal was excellent and thanks were given to the Catering Staff.  Thanks were also paid to the Green Staff for the condition of the course. Thank you to everyone for playing, with special thanks to the reserves who stepped in to complete the team.  The day was a great success.

Friendly Match with Herts Lady Captains

Our third friendly match of the 2019 season was held at Letchworth Golf Club on 27th May 2019 hosted by the Herts Lady Captains.

Letchworth is a beautiful undulating parkland course with excellent and challenging greens.  With the recent rainfall, the rough was extremely punishing.  

We played a joint team event with the best 2 scores to count from 4, with all 4 scores to count on the 9th and 18th.   This friendly format was really enjoyed by everyone and made for a lovely social event.

The meal and service provided at Letchworth was superb.  Many thanks were paid to the Chef and his Serving Staff who looked after us very well.

I’d like to thank everyone for playing, the day was a great success and we look forward to playing this very friendly group of ladies again in 2020.
